Texting I am not sure about but you could use Skype or another VOIP app to make and receive calls....

I am more concerned with texts, I guess.

Nothing can be done to push texts thru WiFi?

nope, cause it MUST go through Sprint's data network and servers. You could use pop email accounts thru wifi though it that helps.

For some reason I can't edit my post above but I read a little more about it and Im not sure if its an app that'll work on a phone or if its just for a PC to send texts to a phone.
